"Subscsiber" must be very unobserVant
person; otherwise he would know that 1t Is
the GAZETTE's rule not to notice anony-
nous letters. But as others may reed the
same information he seeks, an exception
to that rule is made 10 mis- case. The direct
tax was a tax, imposed as war measure oy
law of Congress that went into effect on tne
9Th of August, 1861, upon all the land IN all
the States, Territories and the District OF 60
lumbia. Some of the States, in order TO
save the Is per cent. discount that was al
lowed, assumed the payment of that part OF
the $50 900, 0OO-the whole amount called for
-apporticned to their land owners. But IN
other States, those of the South, for instance,
in which tie tax was partially collected, 1t
was collected from the individual land own
ers. Should the bill referred to become
law. the money collected from the latter
will BIO paid to their respective States as
trustees for them, and can ne recovered by
them from the State treasures upon pres
entation of the receipts given them by the
tax collectors.

McGiypn Excommunicatsd

New YORK, July 9.-The bolt that
has been for weeks hanging over the
head of DIR. -McGlynn has fallen. He
has been accommodated aud hence
forth will be to. the church Of Rome as
though he had never lived. A Mail
and Express reporter learned positive
ly this morning at Archbishop CORR
gan's residence that the papal brief
ordering the formal excommunicatlon
had been received and that accom-
panied by . letter from Archbishop
Corrigan IL would be read In oil the
churches in this. tlocsse tomorrow.
DR.. Mcdonald had but one copy Of
abe decree at the palace. Another had
been given TO the printer. DR.. Mo-
donnald dechnea TO part with his
copy. The papal briefis not long, but
IL 10 very much to the point. 1t sets
forth the contumacy Of the high priest
and refers with sorrow to his persis-
tency In defyiDg the church which
has been 90 anxious 10 zee him repent
and do penace for the scandal hs has
provoked. It goes on ut some length
to explain the necessity Of the present
act, compliments Archbishop Corri-
gan ON his firmness and discretion,
and ends by instructing him to pub.
lise the decree OF recommendation In
his diocese at once. The letter from
the arch bishop will relate anew the
an nxious efforts Of the local church and
authorities TO bring DR.. McGlynn 10 q
proper sense of his duties as priest.
and exhorts the faithful TO obey i'm
plicitly the mandate from Rome with
reference to the unfrocked priest.
This is the last act Of this strange
drama 90 far - the church itself Ii
concerned. DIR. McGlynn is entirely
cut off from II, and Catholics are not
supposed to associate with him. ALI
the srcrAments are withheld from
him. The priest who should even
give him absolution on bis dying bed
would be liable to be unfrocked.

MIR. SUMMERS GREAT STRENGTH
CoslnopolitdR.

Mr.. Sumner stood six feet, two inch
es high without his shoes, and he was
SO we'll built that his height was only
noticeable when he was near a person
of ordinary size. But there was man.
ner about him, free swing of the arm,
a stride, a pose of his shaggy head, a
sway of his broad shoulders, that gave
to those who knew him best the idea
that he was of heroic size. Then, too,
there was something in the intent look
of his deep-set eye, his corrugated
brow, the frown born of intense
thought, and his large head, made to
seem larger by its crown of thick,
heavy, longish gray hair, all of which
gave the idea of physical greatness !;
but with his frequent smile the set
frown passed, his whole appearance
changed, and his face beamed like a
dark lantern suddenly lighted. His
smile effected wonderful transforma-
ton in his whole appearance, and it
set up peculiar sympathy between
himself and its recipient.
For one of his sedentary habits, he
had extraordinary strength, and yet
he was not an athlete. While in
Washington his only exercise was
was the pace rather than the distance
which tells, when opportunity offered
he would go at a rate that amazed be-
holders. Some persons who attempt
ing to join and keep up with him only
succeeded by taking an occasional hop,
skip and jump, such as children prac-
tice while walking with their parents.
Up to the time of his injuries he walk
ed much in Washington, for, as he
said, he could Outwalk Omnibuses, and
give them long odds.
He was hardly aware of his enOr-
nous strength, it was so seldom called
into exercise. His books were packed
in large boxes at the end of each ses-
sion, and sent from his rooms to the
capitol, only to be returned at the be-
ginning of the next session. These
boxes weighed nearly five hundred
pounds each, and were difficult to han
die in passages and stairways, and SO
were accompanied by four men. Once
when he was living at the Rev. DR..
SIMPSONS, one of these heavy boxes
got stuck in the stairway. 1t could be
extricated without damage to the walls
only by lifting it to the bannister. The
four men failed to apply their strength
to the most advantage, for they got i'll
each others way, and thus failed to
move the box. The senator, hated
and glOved, ready to go out, came to
the stairs.
"Why don't you lift it over the rail, D."
said he
elbow can we 2" answered one. "YOu
have no idea of its weight"
"Let me try" said the senator, and
leaning over the rail, he seized the
rope beckett at the end of the box and
lifted the latter clear of it's entangle-
ments by one sure pull, splitting his
glove, however, across the back. The
men were amazed and he, little en-
barassed, said, 81 didn't mean to lift
it, only to try it's weight" and then
went back for fresh gloves.
